On Sunday, February 15th at 2:00 pm, the Ridgefield Library invites you to hear Ruben Wind, the child of Holocaust survivors, tell his parents’ stories of escaping from the Nazi regime even as the walls were closing around Jews throughout much of their former homeland. Ruben’s account of his parents’ fortuitous flight to South America will be seen in the context of the unprecedented horrors occurring throughout Europe.
Ruben shares the story beginning during the Holocaust and the decades that followed. He is passionate about sharing his family’s story. He believes it’s incredibly important to educate younger generations about the Holocaust — to make sure it’s never forgotten and never repeated.
Ruben is a member of HERO The Holocaust Education Resource and Outreach Center. Ruben is also a member of Generations Forward, a group of second- and third-generation individuals sponsored by the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center of White Plains, New York.
